COMBINATION COAL AND GAS STOVE.

Application filed December 28, 1911.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, FREDERICK WILL, Sr., and HUGO BECKER, both of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Combination Coal and Gas Stoves; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the reference-numerals marked thereon.

The present invention relates to stoves, of the particular type adapted for burning either coal or gas having independent ovens arranged to be heated by either kind of fuel, and it has for its object to provide a stove embodying these features in a unitary structure, which can be readily [manufactured and is extremely eflicient in operation.

A further object of the invention is to provide a stove embodying these elements in an integral unit, possessing a neat appearance and a compact arrangement of parts.

Another object is to provide a structure such that-when coal is being burned, the gas heated oven will serve as a warming oven, and vice versa.

Still another object is an arrangement whereby no dampers are required in the gas burning section, the products of combustion being satisfactorily carried off from burners to the main due, and when coal is being burned, the draft isnot interfered with by the connection from the gas burning section.

To these and other ends the invention consists in certain improvements and combinations of parts, all as will be hereinafter more fully described, the novel features being pointed out in the claim at the end of the specification.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a front elevation of a stove, constructed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of our invention;-Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same; Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section-on the ine ww of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a longi tudinal, vertical sectional view of one end of the stove.

Similar reference numerals throughout the several figures indicate the same parts.

In the embodiment of the invention herein disclosed wherein we have shown a preferred form and arrangement of parts, there IS afforded at one end of the stove a coal burning section embodying an oven 1, adapted to be closed by the oven door 2, 3 being the usual fire door adjacent to the oven door: Arranged at the opposite end of the stove, adjacent to the coal burning section is a gas burning section including the oven 4, the latter being provided with the gas burning section and the coal'burning section are both supported on the base frame 6 mounted on suitable legs 7. The base frame extends around the entire body of the stove, as shown, affording an extremely neat and efficient arrangement.

The gas and coal burning sectionsof the stove are separated bv a single partition for a purpose that will appear presently, and to this end a wall is provided between the sections embodying a vertically disposed portion 8 extending from the bottom of the stove bodv to a point somewhat below the top thereof, and-an angularly disposed portion 9 extending from the top of the vertically disposed portion to the top of the stove, as shown clearly in Fig. 4. The oven 4; is provided with a removable top embodying an upper wall 9 and lower wall 10, a space 11 being afforded between the same. The upper wall 9 has an opening 12 at its rear end, whereas the lower wall 10 is provided with the opening 13 at its front end, thus affording a passage from the oven to the fine for any products of combustion or gases that may be collected within the oven, the rear wall of the latter being provided with the openings 14 leading to the heated space surrounding the oven. Openings 15 are afforded in the side walls of the oven,

suitable lugs 16 to afford supports for racks or shelves to be placed within the oven.

When it is desired to use a broiler, the top of the oven is removed and may be supported on either of the sets of lugs 16 until the oven is desired for use again, and this construction enables the broiler and oven chambers to be adjusted to the desired size, while both can be operated at the same time, if desirable. Burners 17 are provided he neath the oven, of which two are illustrated in the drawings and burners 18 are arranged 'is directly exposed to immediately above the oven. At the upper part of the gas burning section are the burners 19 for heating the top 20 said burners being arranged within a chamber formed by the horizontal wall 19*, which separates the burners at the top section from the oven. the burners 18 by means of pipes which lead in from a side wall of the burner chamber at points above the wall 19*. The latter, which covers the gas burning section, extends as shown beyond the vertically disposed portion 8 and to the upper edge of the angularly disposed portion 9 of the separating wall between the sections, and the coal burning section is provided with a top 21 which extends substantially to the upper edge of said angularly disposed portion 9, there forming a. joint with the top 20.

By this arrangement of the wall which sepa- I rates the gas and coal burning sections in the stove, suflicient radiation of heat is afforded from one section to the other to constitute a warming oven of either oven when the section containing the other oven is bewhen gas is burning section the oven burned in the gas a warming oven and vice 1 may be used as versa. By providing posed portion 9, the upper burners 19. can be disposed in closer relation to the coal burning section of the stove, economizing the accessible space and aflording a more compact and neater structure, while also adding to the utility of the stove. operation, the angularly disposed portion 9 the products of comburning section and is heat, thus enabling bustion from the coal an eflicient radiator of articles on the top of the gas burning section to be kept warm from the heat of the coal burning section and tending to warm the air in the gas burning section sufiicient to overcome any tendency to check the coal of the gas burning- Gas is supplied to the angnlarly dis- Furthermore, when the coal burning section 15 in fire by admission of cold air to the main flue from the gas burning section.

The coal burning section is provided with the main flue 22, to which a pipe 23 leads from the back of the gas burning sectlon.

' burning section without the use of any dam-- per therebetween, we consider an important feature of our invention, because it 15 highly undesirable to have anycontrolling damper in the pipe which leads from the gas burning section. If there is such a damper, it is not unlikely, person will use the gas burning section when the damper is closed, and this may result in an explosion, or a discharge of dangerous gases into the room.

.VVe claim as our invention:

In a stove, the combination with a coal burning section, of a gas burning section, a wall separating] said sections, the gas burning section including an oven, a burner arranged above the oven, and a removable top for theoven comprising an upper wall having an opening in its rear end, and a lower and often happens, that a wall having an opening at its front end, the 1 upper and lower walls afiording a space therebetween.
